Dell Inspiron 560 CPU Upgrade

[Veyrontarga]

I know it's getting pretty old, but I've got a Radeon HD 7770 in there with a Celeron 450 @2.2 GHz and I'd like to know what is the best CPU for my mobo (preferably quad)

Thanks

The best lga 775 cpus are the intel core 2 Due E 8xxx and then core 2 quads. They can be purchased for pretty cheap (around $20-30) on ebay

Will any CPU on this page http://www.cpubenchmark.net/socketType.html#id5 work for me? I'm assuming I have to just replace the old one and plug it in?

Any of those should work for you, as they are all socket 775. And to replace your cpu you just remove the old one and put in the new one

Is there some form of paste involved?
